Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The photograph shows two candlesticks. The candlesticks are made of shiny silver metal. They are similar in design and size with a round base and a long, thin stem with ornate details. The top of each candlestick has a wide dish-like depression. The bases have a scalloped pattern around the edge. The background is a light gray color with shadows cast by the candlesticks. The title of the piece is "Candlestick" by an unknown artist.
